HIPPIELUVN'S HALLOWEEN HORRORTHON 2015

[hippieluvn]

That's right boys and girls—it's that time of year again...

HIPPIELUVN'S HALLOWEEN HORRORTHON has returned



Hope you all had a wonderful year...

I'm beginning a bit earlier than usual...

There are a few reasons for this change...

The movie chosen to begin this year's horrorthon...

Was meant to coincide near the end of Burning Man Festival



And to commemorate the recent passing of horror icon Sir Christopher Lee



And so, last night I began this year's horrorthon...

By watching the movie that Sir Lee identified as his...

Personal favorite film from his own repertoire: The Wicker Man



It was an eerily familiar film, existentially intense... Haha



Hope you all have another amazing Halloween season

[Murfreesboro]

I have Wicker Man on VHS, haven't watched it in years (I believe we have discussed it pretty thoroughly in other threads). I didn't know it was Christopher Lee's favorite among his films!

I have started my own horrorthon already, too. Yesterday I watched The Haunting (original version, b & w, Julie Harris).

In honor of the late, great Wes Craven



Tonight, I'm watching his 90s hit: SCREAM

This is a must-see video: Selfie from Hell

[NeverMore]

I saw that selfie video the other night. Excellent!

[Murfreesboro]

I'm not sure if what I'm seeing is the same thing you all are seeing. I followed that link and saw four stories about scary dates (lasted about 30 minutes). Then I tried it again, and got a horror short made by students at an Indian acting school. Does either of those sound like what you all have seen? Nothing in either one included the image in the post above.

When I click the link, it goes to the intended YouTube video titled Selfie from Hell

[Murfreesboro]

Yes, it goes to that for me, too, but then it instantly switches to something else, as if "Selfie from Hell" were some type of internet channel that tons of people are using for scary homemade stuff. Oh, well. The same thing never seems to come up twice.

[NeverMore]

OK, try this link for the 'Selfie from Hell' video. Hippie must have been watching an embedded video and when he clicked over to Youtube to grab the url it had a timecode in it which took it to the end of the video, which then went to the next video.

[Murfreesboro]

Thank you for that! That's indeed a scary video!

[hippieluvn]

Tonight on Svengoolie



I'm watching Abbott & Costello in Hold That Ghost

[hippieluvn]

Today, my wife and I will travel to nearby Old Town in Alexandria, VA



We'll enjoy walking along quaint, colonial streets on this fall-like day



Followed by a Sunday matinee at the Little Theatre of Alexandria



Where we'll watch Laughing Stock, a comedy with scenes from Dracula

[hippieluvn]

Tonight, I will watch a horror-comedy that I first saw last spring...



During a late-night show in NYC's Greenwich Village: What We Do in the Shadows



If you haven't seen this film, it's definitely a must-see, incredibly hilarious... Haha

[Murfreesboro]

I heard about that one! I think it played one of the art houses in Nashville. I would love to see it!

[hippieluvn]

Yes, I highly recommend watching this movie

Bought it on Amazon for horrorthon streaming
